Central location with all the right amenities for the perfect vacation.

Newly purchased for our VRBO inventory we have opened this Tucson Central Gem. Great walking area with sidewalks and mini library book boxes. We are currently and have been five star Hosts on all our properties and know how to treat you. The Saltillo tile gives the home that cool, comfortable Spanish flare. There is a pellet stove for the cold nights and for the warm nights, cool off in the pool. Enjoy the large bay windows looking out to the pool area. Fun to be had, just needs you.
There are two houses on the estate that are completely separate from each other.

Great Place To Stay

We had a very nice stay at this property. It was clean and had a nice yard with a pool and a hot tub which our kids enjoyed. Also a great place to watch the US Air Force fly maneuvers in the afternoons! It was easy to get around by car. Craig and his son Todd were very responsive and welcoming.
